Woodbury Castle , Devon
Woodbury Castle is an Iron Age hill fort near the village of Woodbury in the English county of Devon, some eight miles southeast of the city of Exeter.
The Iron Age inhabitants of Woodbury Castle knew all about 'location, location, location'.
They chose the spot on Woodbury Common carefully: at 600ft above sea level, it's the highest point in the area, with panoramic views of the River Exe to the west and River Otter to the east.
On a clear day you can see as far as Dartmoor and Somerset - perfect for keeping an eye out for potential enemy attacks, which was quite likely 2,500 years ago.
All that's left of Woodbury Castle is an empty moat, a steep sided bank, and an area which would have been used as accommodation by our Iron Age ancestors.
There is no structure to see, but the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument because of its history.
These days, the hill fort is a popular place for walkers and horse riders. The land is owned by Clinton Devon Estates, which has brought in archaeologists to draw up a map of what lies beneath the ground.
